Aged 30, admitted about six years since. This man was a Scotch pedlar,
and was convicted of cutting and maiming an officer in the execution
of his duty. This officer demanded to search his pack, on suspicion
that it contained smuggled goods; but M’Intire contended it was to
rob him of part of its contents (whether contraband or stolen is not
known). M’Intire resisted: a conflict ensued, and the consequence was
the cutting and maiming, for which he was indicted. He was sent to the
Hulks, where he became insane, and from whence he came hither.
He is much troubled with epileptic fits, but he is generally quiet and
harmless.
